Created gofers are not going away anytime soon. EA's telemetry indicates that 87% of all users play with a created golfer over Pro gofers in the game. I'll comment further on this and gameplay improvements when EA begins releasing more information.

Good thing I didn't suggest created golfers should be removed. I would now have to disagree with myself if I did. I could create a golfer in PGA Tour Golf II on the Genesis and at this point it's an entrenched and necessary part of a golf video game. If you're suggesting EA needs "telemetry" data to know not to remove the ability to create a golfer, well, they're in more trouble than I thought.

The problem with this game, in large part because it's a Tiger Woods product, is that it is ONLY a superstar creation game. The focus is basically "to be Tiger Woods" and not about playing out Tour Seasons. I'm not saying it should be one or the other, but just that right now it IS one and not the other. I don't have much hope for that changing anytime soon either.

Not what I was suggesting whatsoever.......just backing up my comments with facts instead of speculation....

it is a shame really. golf is such an ez sport to mimic, compared to others. but unfortunately EA fails to focus on the most important aspect of a golf game, PHYSICS. they fail with ball flight, bounce, spin, and club to ball contact response. lets not forget the oversized clubface, unrealistic putting....terrible camera angles. it all sums up to being an arcadic golf game. Ive always played on tourney difficulty with putting meter off and even no green grids. yet, its still nothing like a golf sim. There are times where the game is fun, esp online against like minded players. but after a while the high scores become problematic even on the highest of difficulties.

If Golf was such an easy sport to program for, why are there not more Golf games being developed? The short answer is you are wrong.

Every criticism you mention above has been improved in TW14. I'll be interested to see how low you go on the highest difficulty level in TW14. What I played last week was far and away more challenging than TW13 in Tournament Mode. And as I left EA last week, they were working on making the most challenging mode even more difficult for release, based upon mine and others feedback......

Everyone remain calm. It's a golf game. Let's all try to help make the game better, instead of tearing apart a new game that hasn't even been released.

If you had any idea how many users have asked to have the Legends back in the game (last time in 05/06) then you would maybe understand why they brought them back.....there is more to the Legends than just Arnie and the other Golfers.....
